    Joe Bailon moved his shop down to North Hollywood in the 60's.
    I did goof big-time with Cushenberry. Sorry for the mistake.
    I'm doing the best I can, while relying on old (and occasionally inaccurate ) captions, and a declining memory. I have deleted the offending posts, and will stop posting on this thread...I do apologize:eek:

    Hey, nothing is offensive in any way!! If someone posted a reply that made you feel that you should stop posting then just be reminded that there are a few anal retentives in every group. I, for one, am finding everything here brings a smile. And, betcha I'm not alone.

    Why are they driving on the wrong side of the street or did Life magazine flip the photo by mistake? I've seen other magazines do that and wonder if it's done on purpose.

    Please don't stop. I love what you're doing and love this post. It's just that I used to go to Bailons' shop and have always had a soft spot for Leroy Goularts Ford. You're doing great and please keep it up...
     

  21. I take it this was also the scene for the shoot out with the Nazis in the movie "The Rocketeer".

    Mistakes are inevitable when you post as many great things as you have been, Ed. You've practically been carrying this great thread on your back for a couple weeks now, and there are a lot of us who are very appreciative. Minor mistakes done in the spirit of telling the LA tale from a veteran hot rod guy who knows what he's talking about! :)

    Please keep up the great work.

    The old L.A. Zoo was a neat place to go but a lot smaller both for people and animals. Glad the place was saved for other uses.

    Like all big cities it is full of it and has to be disposed of. This is Hyperion Sewage Disposal site. and the pier that carries the outfall pipe to the ocean. Not very far is it. Reminds me of the saying "Don't eat the yellow snow" or "Don't swim in the brown water". I wonder if fishing is good?

    Well fishing must be good here on the sewage pier in 1935..The Hyperion plant is in the background. The big question is did they eat the fish????
     

  27. I think my Grandfather used to fish there, and he caught a lot of fish and yes he ate them...kinda makes other things make more sense now...:rolleyes:

    Or should I say that explains a lot about Grandpa "moods"

  29. Was this the location of the rescue scene toward the end of the movie "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" with the hook and ladder fire truck?
